Cambridge Tax Discussion Group: 'Tax Law and fairness'

This Cambridge Tax Discussion Group meeting is open to anyone with a curiosity about tax law or about notions of fairness.

We are delighted to have University of Cambridge alumnus Steve Jeffels, who will be combining his commercial and academic experience in order to lead a discussion about Tax & Fairness. After graduating in Engineering, Steve became a Chartered Accountant and then a Chartered Tax Adviser.

Steve's doctoral work is concerned with understanding fairness from a tax perspective, and examining whether the UK tax system in aggregate is fair. Starting with a consideration of what fairness means both generally and economically, Steve will present some thought-provoking scenarios linked to the current inequality debate which will help frame the discussion on what fairness means from a tax perspective. To provide a lively debate it would be really useful if attendees can have thought a little about their perception of whether the tax system (perhaps in their own country) is fair and why.

As ever, the Cambridge Tax Discussion Group welcomes anyone with an interest in tax generally or, this week, in the subject of fairness. No prior tax expertise is necessary. So, feel free to pass on the details of this meeting to anyone whom you think might be interested.
